We typically like Pixel phones a lot, but we have some reservations about Google's quality control

What's your next phone gonna be?

Pixel 8(a), until there is an alternative that meets GrapheneOS requirements. Poorly.

Does the Fairphone meet gOS' requirements?

Edit: Apparently not, unfortunately. I'm probably gonna keep getting whatever Google comes up with next.

No, by far not.

Basically:

  • they are extremely late on Updates, like months behind
  • they claim to have an update timespan they cannot have because certain parts will not be updated anymore and firmware vulnerabilities are a thing
  • their hardware is not secure enough
  • they dont meet the minimum requirements

That's really unfortunate. Can't have it all, it seems.
